Good point. I also think that this makes a handling of failover more complicated. In other words, clusterware cannot determine whether to do failover when it detects the death of the primary postgres. A wrong decision might cause split brain syndrome. How about new GUC parameter to determine whether to restart postmaster automatically when it fails abnormally? This would be useful for various failover system.
